Glendale's mayor on Tuesday addressed the public outcry that followed the release of body-camera footage showing an officer repeatedly using a stun gun on a man during a traffic stop in 2017.

Mayor Jerry Weiers read the statement during a City Council workshop Tuesday afternoon, where he acknowledged residents' concerns after footage showed Officer Matt Schneider used a stun gun on Johnny Wheatcroft 11 times during a traffic stop, including after the man was handcuffed and on the ground.

"This entire incident was subject to an official, critical, comprehensive and independent review in accordance with the Arizona Police Officer Standards and Training procedures and state laws," Weiers said. "The review, which occurred when the incident first happened and long before it became public, resulted in disciplinary actions for one officer regarding certain tactics of this complicated event."

Police suspended Schneider for three days for violating department protocol.

"The drive stun with the Taser device administered by the officer after the suspect was handcuffed and no longer resisting did not fall within our response to resistance policy,'' said Officer Tiffany Ngalula, a police department spokeswoman.

Weiers also highlighted the Maricopa County Attorney's Office's decision not to prosecute any of the officers involved.

Weiers echoed a similar statement from police officials that Schneider's actions were not representative of the department as a whole.

Glendale police also held a press conference Monday afternoon, where they showed reporters additional body-camera footage from different angles. Police barred media from recording the briefing due to the lawsuit despite Wheatcroft's attorney having released several police videos already.

Weiers refused to comment further on the incident, citing the ongoing litigation.
